[GreenKeys] missing bell labs

[Larry DeSoto]

I worked in the Whippany lab from 80 to 84.  Bell Labs was a wonderful place 
to work. It was an acknowledged fact that most engineers and scientists 
could go to work almost anywhere else for 20% more money but the facilities 
and support for independent work was such that most of the technical people 
were more than happy to be there.  In my case, it even made up for having to 
live in New Jersey.
